He just couldn't let go of his Citroen!
Daily Mail, 15th September page 7 has a story about a man who found an enexploded mine of some sort in his back garden. He picked it up and pressed a button on the top, then thought, "I daren't let go! What if it is a bomb?"
Police were called, he fastened his thumb on with sticky tape and put his hand in a bucket of sand, (is it a wind-up that his job is as a sand-blaster??) and the Army were called in.
Turns out they'd blown up one or two of these in the past, and recognised it as an old hydraulic Citroen part. Anyone recognise it? Looked more like an oil filter to me.

is this story a coincidence :

- wonder if any of these stories are "leaked" from a certain origin [;)]

Between the Sun and the BBC it seems to have turned from a filter into a sphere......
It made me chuckle because part of my parent's farm was a WW2 airfield, with a former bomb storage area nearby. In one corner is a pile of about 20 discarded suspension spheres that I've been meaning to get rid of for ages.
I can just imagine someone digging them up in 50 years time and thinking
"OHHHH SH*T!!!" [;)]
